A Month of Thanksgiving

There are certain things about apartment living that fill my heart with thanksgiving.

Let me name a few and maybe you can start your own list.

1. The Maintenance man: It is such a gift to be able to pick up the phone and call someone else when your refrigerator isn’t running and your toilet is clogged. Maintenance men are truly everyday heroes!

2. Don’t have to shovel the snow: This is always a blessing when winter rolls around that YOU are not the one responsible for getting up early and shoveling your sidewalk or a path out to the parking lot where your car is parked. Grateful for groundskeepers and property managers, who shovel snow and put de-icer down.

3. No extra taxes. One of the joys that comes with home ownership is paying property taxes, yet, another thing I am ‘saved from’. Although I’m sure part of my rent includes helping to pay this bill, which I gladly will do.

What are you thankful for about apartment living? Please leave your comment below.
